The Journals

This book is a joint journal of mine, and Anton Shagin, an actor and a poet.

Once I glued some of my favorite pictures into an album and gave it to Anton, who promised to cherish it through his theater-tour and occasionally write poems in tune with his mood at the time. The album spent three years on the road, and some years it took for us to invent a proper form for the book. It now consists of three journals one for which travelling year. This book tells a different story each time you touch it: pictures taken through the eyes of a thirty year old, impressions of a forty-something. It speaks of beautiful women, touched your life years ago; it is about those poems that were not destined to find the place in the book and ways of photography I no longer follow.
